data science folks, give #Positron a try. It’s thoughtfully built, and #Quarto support is excellent. It has replaced VSCode, Jupyter and LaTeX in my workflow. https://positron.posit.co/

Positron

Positron unifies exploration and production work in one free, AI-assisted environment, empowering the full spectrum of data science in Python and R.

Could we get that #julialang thang for #positron already? I just want to experience it in a warm, comfortable space that I’m familiar with, and that has a better DS-vibe than standard VS Code.

having trouble with Agent responsiveness in #positron and orphaned processes, I got the Agent write a guide: https://github.com/mdsumner/gdal-r-python/blob/main/positron/orphaned-positron-guide.md

The investment comes from backers including the Qatar Investment Authority as demand for chips beyond Nvidia soars and as Qatar aims to build out its AI infrastructure.

The latest monthly release of #Positron has a BRAND NEW editor for `.ipynb` available for early alpha testing! 📒

I am excited about what Positron is going to offer Jupyter notebook users in terms of truly "batteries included" IDE integration:

The Positron Notebook Editor in alpha provides a "batteries-included" experience that combines the simplicity of Jupyter with the power of a purpose-built data science IDE.

I've been trying Positron for a while now, also because the programming course that precedes the data science course, uses VS Code.

Mixed feelings, to be honest.
+ Switching between R and Python is smooth
+ Python integration and interactive sessions works out of the box
+ flexible IDE

- (very) slow to start up
- code indentation is awkwardly full vertical, not like in RStudio
- Quarto workflow for books is more intuitive in RStudio (for me, for now)

@dantheclamman I've never come back to #Rstudio. The migration is totally worthy. I used pycharm for python because I have an academic license, but I also moved to #positron. Much more prepared for data science.

For those in the #rstats world, have you migrated from #rstudio to #positron? I am finally trying Positron; love the auto dark mode, which I previously had to use a script to do in rstudio. and it seems to be executing code fine using the here() package to point to files in a directory. What are your thoughts? Excited to see about Python where I was using a mix of the Rstudio/reticulate and Spyder that never worked the way I wanted.
